Legal Question in Personal Injury in Pennsylvania

Wrongful Death Recovery Based on Probability of Marriage

If a woman suffered a wrongful death and her immediate family wants to recover damages, can a judge award them based on who she is likely to marry? An example would be a judge deciding that because a woman worked in a hospital, she was likely to marry a doctor, thus quit her job and no longer bring in money, so she is worth less to her surviving family. Please help. I am desperate for information.

No, the law does not provide for that.
